It's wonderful to have the opportunity to see your photos and really take in the details of these frescoes. In your pictures the lighting is so much better than when I was there, and the closeups are fantastic. Such a special place... I can't wait to return...

Beautiful shots. I love the fact that so many chuches in Italy are unassuming on the outside but when you go inside - WOW. How many people just walk on by thinking that it is just a 'blah' building but miss out on the treasures within?

Dana, thanks! There were a couple of workers with tools inside the church while I was there. I wonder if lights were turned on that are usually off? I really enjoyed my time inside the church.

candi, thanks! It was really incredible. Everywhere you turned.... so much art.

menehune, me too. I was kicking myself for not thinking of packing a lunch. When I inquired about the ticket and boat times, the guy at the window told me I would only need one hour.

Jerry, me too! I am always so amazed at what I find in the churches that look so plain on the outside. I have learned to always take a peek inside.

Kathy, thanks! You would really love this place.

sandra, thanks! I wonder if perhaps some of them where restored? I did not see information on just who was inside the glass casket. I didn't even think if it could have been Santa Caterina? Now I am curious.
